The anticoagulant Rivaroxaban, commonly known as Xarelto, has made headlines in recent days. Lawsuits have been filed against the maker of the drug. The lawsuits are no surprise; Xarelto has been linked to causing dangerous side effects like brain hemorrhaging and uncontrollable bleeding.

Along with uncontrollable bleeding, individuals taking the medication have also experienced other, life-threatening side effects. Liver damage, reduced platelet levels, and low blood pressure are among the long list. If you or a loved one has suffered these life threatening side effects after taking Xarelto, contact us today to find out about your Xarelto lawsuit.

Prescription Xarelto Uses

Xarelto is a blood thinner manufactured by Bayer and marketed by Janssen Pharmaceutica, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. The drug is typically prescribed to prevent blood clots and strokes in individuals suffering from a variety of conditions such as atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat.

Doctors have also prescribed Xarelto to individuals with pulmonary embolism, a condition in which the arteries within the lungs become blocked. In other cases, the medication is prescribed to people who have underwent knee or hip replacement surgery in order to prevent blood clots from forming in their legs or lungs.

The FDA first approved the drug in the summer of 2011. However, soon after its release, Xarelto was linked to causing dangerous, life-threatening health problems.

Uncontrollable bleeding and blood pooling

Uncontrollable bleeding is one of the potential side effects of Xarelto. Many individuals taking Xarelto have experienced out of control bleeding near major organs. And, as a result, the organs do not receive enough blood. They lose function and often shut down.

When oxygen rich blood fails to reach the brain, a stroke occurs. Some patients have suffered from a stroke after taking Xarelto and now suffer from permanent brain damage and loss of cognitive function, among other medical issues.

Other dangerous side effects of Xarelto

Along with uncontrollable bleeding, individuals taking the medication have also experienced other, life-threatening side effects. Liver damage, reduced platelet levels, and low blood pressure are among the long list.

Xarelto Lawsuit

Because of the devastating injuries caused by Xarelto, people all across the globe have filed lawsuits against Bayer. The first wave of lawsuits was filed abroad. But, more recently, individuals from the U.S. have instituted civil actions against both Bayer and Janssen Pharmaceutica.

Pradaxa, a similar oral anticoagulant manufactured by Bayer’s competitor Boehringer-Ingelheim, has also come under scrutiny. Last month, the company agreed to settle roughly 4,000 cases due to injuries caused to those taking Pradaxa.
